Head of Risk

The Company is seeking a Head of Risk to lead its in-house risk function and ensure the effectiveness of the group's risk management system. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, implementation, and operation of the risk management system, as well as maintaining and developing the risk management framework. This role requires a leader who can embed risk management across the organization, from operational to strategic levels, and who has a strong background in both financial and non-financial risks. The Head of Risk will also be involved in risk appetite, policies, and governance, and will provide second-line oversight of prudential and operational risks, including business resilience and cyber security.
